See if you can find a Mazda forum that has a truck section. You could likely get some experienced advice there. Here’s a couple. https://www.mazdaworld.org/forums/b-series-truck.109/ https://www.mazdaforum.com/forum/mazda-bt-50-pickup-trucks-18/b2600-47009/

Unusual modification methods are my specialty.

Cool project!😎

Looks great Pat! Love your photo backdrop too.😎

Nice work on the tuck and roll upholstery.👍

I have a bunch of kits started that I am modifying mildly to heavily, mostly glue bombs that I picked up at the flea market. I work on them in spurts and intend to complete them all eventually.Brand new kits usually get completed in fairly short order (a month or two?) The only kit I have given up on so far is the Revell “Skip’s Fiesta” ‘55 Chevy that I wasn’t even modifying really.😕 I just got fed up with parts not fitting and poor instructions.🤯 I have since robbed a few parts I think and have no intention of attempting completion….at this point.🤔

One thing I wound up doing on mine was separating the front subframe/engine from the floor and installing it after the floor pan was in place because I had glued the front and rear valences in place before painting.

Not all models turn out the way I originally planned.

Fantastic idea…especially the adjustable ones. You or somebody should market these.😎

Excellent work Alex!👍

That is one sweet looking Ford there David!👍😎

Great looking ‘40 Jeff!😎

I’ll come along for the ride Charles.🙂 I really like your scratch building skills and use of brass for high stress components.👍😎

Welcome to the forums Timothy. Great start on your project. It looks like you are taking a very methodical approach to the layout of your frame and cage. They look excellent!👍

This forum and YT are a great source of information no doubt. There are also many gifted model builders out there who have never watched a video or visited a forum. They learn by….experience.
